Finn’s lips pressed into a thin line, displeasure flickering across his face.

“Recovering from serious injury takes months–let alone a car crash. If your boss is talking about postponing the meeting for three months, then I’m afraid Mr. Lock will not be attending.”

Zane stepped forward with a stern expression and finished the statement for him.

The secretary from Holden Group panicked, quickly waving his hands. “No, no! Mr. Holden said–three days! Even if he has to come in a wheelchair, he’ll be there in three days, as promised! He feels awful for bailing out this time. As long as he’s breathing, he’ll show up to apologize in person. Please, Mr. Lock, give us one more chance to continue this partnership.”

He kept his head bowed low, afraid of hearing the rejection that might crush all their hopes.

After all, Brody Holden had poured his heart and soul into getting this meeting with Lock Group–an opportunity that rarely came by.

But fate had other plans.

“Three days,” Zane repeated after glancing at Finn for a signal.

Holding up three fingers, his voice firm and final, he said, “If he doesn’t show in three days, the deal is off.”

“Yes, absolutely!” The secretary’s face lit up with relief.

Finn stood slowly, his tall frame.ening as his assistant and bodyguards flanked him on either side..

Just as they reached the doorway, the

group came to a sudden halt.

Finn froze, his gaze fixed on a small item lying on the empty ground just outside the entrance

A medicine bottle lay on the ground.

Something compelled him to pause.

He stepped forward, his polished shoes glinting under the lights, and reached down to pick it up.

A bottle of children’s anti–diarrheal medicine.

And immediately, the image of a woman flitting nervously through the crowd came rushing back to him.

That strange sense of familiarity gripped him again.

Finn’s hand clenched around the bottle.

“Zane, he said in a low, commanding voice, “find out who dropped this.”

Zane blinked, confused for a moment by the request.

A medicine bottle? Why is Mr. Lock making such a big deal about it?

“If I’m right, Finn added, it belongs to a young mother carrying a child.”

At thai, realization dawned. Zane instantly recalled a delicate face from his memory–if this was about her, it had to be

serious

He sprang into action, ordering his team to search the area for anyone who marched the description and to request street surveillance footage from the municipal office.

Soon, a video was emailed to his tablet

Zane played the footage and confirmed it–Mrs. Lock was the one who dropped the bottle.

“Mr. Lock,” he said, handing over the tablet.
